10th Jul 2026 Good 3m 1f 80y |
11st 12lb |
Bumper winner for Nicky Henderson, but very lightly raced since and overall form does not leave much room for optimism. |

15th May 2026 Good To Yielding 1m 7f 153y |
11st 5lb |
Debut bumper winner for Nicky Henderson in 2024 (good to soft); fair sixth on stable debut at Galway in October and ran better than finishing position suggested in a rated novice chase at Punchestown; tailed off in a Navan maiden hurdle last time at 80-1 (2m, soft to heavy); check market for handicap debut. |

1st Oct 2025 Good To Yielding 2m 1f 120y |
11st 12lb |
Bumper and maiden hurdle winner had been running with credit on the Flat earlier this year; best effort over fences when second in a Tipperary beginners' in July; still had a chance when falling at Galway since; can be involved. |
3/1 |

29th Jul 2025 Good 2m 2f 54y |
11st 12lb |
Bumper and maiden hurdle winner has run respectably in defeat on the Flat before running his best race over fences when second in a 2m Tipperary beginners' last time; should be involved with a repeat of that. |

12th Jun 2024 Good To Firm 2m 1f 0y |
10st 1lb |
In good form over hurdles and transferred that to the Flat when second in a 2m handicap at Listowel last week; plenty of weight but has a leading chance. |

3rd Jul 2026 Good 2m 3f 110y |
11st 12lb |
Dual hurdles winner on good ground rated 99; ground to suit, but lots to find with several of these now switched to fences. |
33/1 |

8th 8 |
10th May 2026 Good 2m 3f 50y |
11st 4lb |
Both hurdle wins have come on good ground; off the mark at Limerick in April last year (2m3f) and went in again at Tramore in August (2m5f) off 5lb lower; jumping issues evident at Tramore in October and soft ground against him at Clonmel last month; interesting back on his preferred surface with a run under his belt. |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 4f 55y |
11st 0lb |
Rated 130 after five runs over fences without winning; beaten favourite at Cork on handicap chase debut (2m1f, good to yielding); 25l behind in a big-field Listed handicap chase here last time; needs to raise his game but could be best placed to take advantage if the top-rated disappoints. |

6th Jul 2026 Good 2m 7f 180y |
11st 10lb |
Went closest to scoring when just denied in a Punchestown handicap over 2m in January (well-backed) on soft to heavy ground; raced keenly over 3m on return at the same track last month; 5-2 favourite at Clonmel last time but was a disappointing seventh; cheekpieces go on and Cobden rides for the first time so he must be respected. |

30th Jun 2026 Good 2m 0f 0y |
11st 12lb |
Half-brother to Ben Pauling's smart 3m chaser Henry's Friend; two wins over hurdles last year at up to 2m6f; made mistakes in his point-to-points before that and this trip will be too sharp for him on chase debut. |
20/1 |

7th Jun 2026 Good To Yielding 2m 7f 116y |

Maiden and 2m6f novice winner last year represents a stable in fine form and will be better for last month's Killarney return. |
